Muncy's 2 homers and Freeman's RBI double lift Dodgers over Mets 6-5 in 10 innings
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Max Muncy homered twice, including a tying shot in the ninth inning, and Freddie Freeman doubled home the winning run in the 10th to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers over the New York Mets 6-5 on Tuesday night. Freeman's slicing fly to deep left field was misplayed by Brandon Nimmo, who got twisted around and appeared to lose sight of the ball as it dropped on the warning track beside him. That allowed automatic runner Tommy Edman to score from second base with one out. The Dodgers earned their 20th comeback win of the season after blowing a 4-1 lead they established in the first. They also tied the series opener in the ninth on Monday, but lost 4-3 in 10 innings when reliever Tanner Scott got knocked around. This time, Scott (1-2) retired the side in the 10th, striking out Juan Soto and Pete Alonso before Nimmo grounded out. ___ AP MLB:

Mets announce lineup for Tuesday's game vs Los Angeles Dodgers
LOS ANGELES — The Mets are one win away from locking up a season series win over the Dodgers. The first chance to wrap it up comes at 10:10 p.m. on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium after the Mets fought back in the 10th inning to claim a 4-3 victory on Monday night. Advertisement Against the Dodgers' Tanner Scott, Francisco Alvarez supplied the go-ahead RBI double and Francisco Lindor chipped in a crucial RBI single in extra innings. The victory, which gave the Mets the best record in the National League at 38-22, did come at a cost, with Mark Vientos sustaining a right hamstring strain in the 10th inning. Ronny Mauricio has joined the team in Los Angeles for his first major league action since 2023, while Vientos was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. As the Mets look to claim their fourth win in five tries against the Dodgers — and extend their win streak to five games — Tylor Megill will get the start for the Mets. In 11 starts this season, Megill is 4-4 with a 3.56 ERA and 72 strikeouts in 53⅔ innings. Last time out, Megill allowed two earned runs in 5⅔ innings with six strikeouts to claim the win over the White Sox. Clayton Kershaw will be making his fourth start of the season for the Dodgers after allowing one earned run in five innings with three strikeouts in his most recent start against the Guardians. Kershaw faced the Mets on May 23 at Citi Field but saw his outing cut short after two scoreless innings due to a lengthy rain delay.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott Sends Strong Message After Loss to Mets
Dodgers' Tanner Scott Sends Strong Message After Loss to Mets originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In a tightly contested 10-inning game on Monday, the New York Mets edged out the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 at Dodger Stadium. Advertisement The Dodgers managed to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth but faltered in the extra frame. Closer Tanner Scott, who took the mound in the 10th, struggled with his command, allowing the decisive run by Starling Marte that ultimately sealed the win for New York. Postgame, Scott candidly acknowledged his performance issues, stating, "Missed locations, especially down in the zone against hitters that I'm supposed to be in different spots...I'm just not hitting my locations, and it's costing us." Scott, a 30-year-old left-handed reliever from Warren, Ohio, began his MLB career with the Baltimore Orioles in 2017 before playing for the Miami Marlins (2022-2024) and San Diego Padres (2024). Advertisement In January, he signed a four-year deal worth $72 million with the Dodgers. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tanner Scott (66).Jason Parkhurst-Imagn Images In 2024, Scott was named an All-Star, posting a 2.73 ERA, 31 strikeouts, four saves and a 3-1 record, highlighting his status as one of the league's premier relievers That same year, the Dodgers finished with a 98-64 record (best in Major League Baseball), secured home-field advantage through the playoffs and ultimately won their eighth World Series title, defeating the New York Yankees in five games. Last season with the Padres, Scott pitched scoreless innings across five playoff games, striking out seven batters, including four against NL MVP Shohei Ohtani in the Division Series. Advertisement As of Tuesday, the Dodgers hold a 36-24 record, leading the National League West division. However, with L.A. aiming to defend their World Series title, they will need Scott to regain his form to maintain their edge in tight games.

Tanner Scott struggles again as Dodgers fall to Mets in 10 innings
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor forces out Max Muncy at second base on a double play in the second inning Monday at Dodger Stadium. (Jayne Kamin-Oncea / Associated Press) It took the Dodgers until the ninth inning Monday night to erase their first two-run deficit. But when Tanner Scott surrendered a pair of scores in the top of the 10th, they couldn't do it again. In a 4-3 extra-innings loss to the New York Mets on Monday, a night that started with frustration — then crescendoed with a late-game rally — ultimately ended in a familiar fizzle.

In the top of the 10th, Scott gave up an RBI double to Francisco Alvarez to lead off the inning. Francisco Lindor followed with a down-the-line single to bring another run for the Mets (38-22). The left-hander, who signed for four years and $72 million this offseason, has a 4.73 earned-run average in his first 28 outings. And after coming back once on Monday night, the Dodgers' magic ran out in the bottom of the 10th. Although Freddie Freeman led off with a walk, and Andy Pages followed with an RBI single that made it a one-run score, the Dodgers came up empty the rest of the way. Advertisement Max Muncy struck out. Will Smith pinch-hit for Michael Conforto at the last second — literally running out of the dugout with Conforto already digging in at the plate — but flied out to center. Then Tommy Edman scorched a comebacker straight to reliever Jose Buttó, concluding a night in which the Dodgers went two for 11 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11 men on base.

Dodgers 4-Player Trade Idea Adds Shutdown Closer After Tanner Scott Implosion
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Los Angeles Dodgers have a lot to be happy with this season but their latest loss demonstrated a clear weakness. After enjoying a strong start from Clayton Kershaw, the Dodgers ultimately blew their lead against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday as relievers Tanner Scott and Alex Vesia combined to give up five runs in the eighth inning. With several starting and bullpen arms on the injured list, the Dodgers have been heavily reliant on their relievers, and Scott in particular has disappointed. After an All-Star campaign last year, he joined the Dodgers on a $72 million deal and has a concerning 4.62 ERA across 26 games so far. "That was Scott's fifth blown save already this season, the third in his past five appearances," Bill Plunkett wrote for The Orange County Register. "Scott had a total of six blown saves in 34 save opportunities with the Miami Marlins and (San Diego) Padres."

(Photo by) More Sloter/Getty And as Scott implodes on the mound with just a few weeks until the trade deadline, the Dodgers might be running out of time for him to figure it out. As a result, they could turn to a trade proposal from Garrett Kerman that would bring in Minnesota Twins closer Jhoan Duran in exchange for Josue De Paula, Nick Frasso and Landon Knack. "For the Dodgers, Duran would give them a dominant weapon to pair with Evan Phillips and Brusdal Graterol, solidifying the back end of their bullpen for both the stretch run and multiple playoff runs to come," Kerman wrote. "The cost is significant, but the Dodgers' depth allows them to make such a move without mortgaging their future." Parting with De Paula in particular would be tough, but Duran has two more years of arbitration eligibility ahead and could be a key reinforcement for the Dodgers' bullpen during Scott's entire contract tenure. He's earned at least 23 saves in both of the last two seasons with a career ERA of 2.40. So far this season he has nine saves with a stellar 1.07 ERA. As Scott proves to be a disappointment for the Dodgers so far, the team might have to swing a trade like this to bring in a true championship closer.
